But sources said Gang Unit cops are pushing informants to gather more intel on the threat, and are taking the tip seriously.

MS-13, the morons that tattoo their faces. Kill a couple cops and they will see a crackdown/asswhooping like never seen before. What is MS-13 going to do, sandpaper their heads.......this isn't Mexico...yet.

They may be talking about the liberals in NYC, like the liberals everywhere - re-elect the same liberal politicians and think things will change. I have no sympathy for people that support the policies and politicians that tie the hands of the cops, then complain that crime is sky-rocketing.

‘Assassinations of law enforcement and political leaders in the the US is very likely’

When US/Mexican border region law enforcement were warned in late March by the El Paso Sector Border Intelligence Center that the Barrio Azteca gang in El Paso may be plotting to kill El Paso law enforcement officers in retaliation for a recent crackdown on gang members, the threat did not come as a surprise to officials monitoring Mexican cartel movements to begin killing any US law enforcement who get in their way.

More than 200 officers from 20 separate law enforcement agencies targeted Barrio Azteca in a series of raids in which officials were looking for information about gang-tied murders in Juárez and El Paso. Three Americans connected to the US Consulate in Juarez were gunned down in what appeared to be a cartel-related hit.

Some US counter-cartel officials told HSToday.us they believe if the killings were the result of an ordered hit, it could have been meant as a warning, or signal, that the cartels (Bario Azteca members serve as street soldiers moving cartel drugs north of the border) will begin killing US officials in retaliation for the USs increasingly successful efforts in preventing larger quantities of narcotics from being smuggled across the border.

NYC cops disarm decent citizens as a matter of routine, people who carry out unconstitutional laws are no friends of mine, or of the USA. If tyrants can’t find anyone to carry out their edicts they can’t do much but the NYPD is right in there working for them!

IMHO, they should be labeled for what they are and seek to become. They seek to be an enemy of the US as an organized state with consulates in other nations without bilateral representation.

Congress should declare war on MS-13, then the executive branch is free to imprison any MS-13 gang member found as enemies of the US. If found operating in the US, then charge them with treason. If found guilty as MS-13 members, then condemn them to capital punishment to be executed immediately with extreme prejudice.

They are a counterculture seeking to disobey and overthrow legitimate authority.

In a sane world absolutely. This Administration, however, can't even bring itself to refer to terrorists as such what makes you think it will take a hard line against a bunch of illegal gangbangers.

(a healthy dose of buckshot will probably get you the last word in any argument.)

Not all NYers are libs or Democrats and once upon a time a Mayor cleaned up the city against overwhelming odds. It's a shame his successor is more concerned with butter, trans-fats and salt in the diets of NYers than crime in the streets.
